Not exactly, but kind of. Oxygen is generally known as the final hydrogen acceptor. NAD+ and FAD are generally known as electron acceptors because they transport electrons to the electron co-enzyme chain. After the electrons go through the co-enzyme chain they bond to protons forming hydrogen which bonds to oxygen to make water.

If O2 does not do this then it is at least an intermediary ultimately conformed to CO2.

Is oxygen a terminal electron acceptor?

Yes, oxygen is a terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration. In this process, oxygen accepts electrons and protons to form water, providing the final step in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.


What is the final electron receptor in cellular respiration?

oxygen is used to pull electrons down to the Electron Transport Chain which pumps H+ to create H+ gradient :)


The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is water is it broken down to hydrogen and oxygen?

No, it is the other way round:The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen. Together with H+ ions water molecules are formed. O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ ==> 2 H2O
